THE LAWS DELAYS.

No record exists of such persistent en-
deavor in behalf of any criminal to avoid
being brought to the bar of justice as is
made up by the story of Goldenson's at
tempt TO postpone his trial for the murder
of the young girl Kelley. He has had
ample time in which to prepare for trial,
but when the last and remotest excuse for
delay was exhausted, his attorneys appear
to have been made the instruments for
further effort to put off the hour when he
must answer for his crime. One of his
attorneys being engaged in civil case in
another Court, and another in the Legisla-
ture, were facts advanced as reasons for
still further delay. But they did not
avail, and the Court appointed competent
lawyers to conduct the defense. But with
these both Goldenson and his family re-
fuse to hold any consultation, and one of
the attorneys in disgust declined to have
anything further 20 do with the case.
Whereupon additional counsel was assigned
by Judge Murphy, and the trial ordered
on. At this still another lawyer appeared
and interposed objections to the trial pro-
ceeding on behalf of the defendants
original attorney, who was busy in trying
civil case. The Court sternly over
ruled these objections, and the trial
began on Monday. While we feel
very much disposed to commend Judge
Murphy for being the first to break the
back of the vicious system of continuance
and delay in criminal trials, and to APP
plaud the firmness with which he resisted
the various efforts made to put off the case
until the witnesses are dead and new
generation of men have come upon the
scene of action, we doubt if he should be
praised. For has he done anything more
than his duty? 1t has come to be the
rule in our criminal Courts in great cities
that delay is the chief element of defense,
and that it is unmerciful to the accused to
refuse it. But the public temper, under
this pernicious practice, has been warmed
to the point of revolt. The Judges would
be billiards, indeed, if they do not see
that the practice of delay has brought the
law into contempt and the Courts into
disrepute, and that presently revolution
will take place that Will undermine
the very seat of justice unless
radical reforms are inaugurated.
The initial step has been taken
by Superior Judge Murphy. He had the
courage to place public interest in advance
of the convenience of lawyers; he has read
to the men and women of the criminal
class a new lesson. They are to learn now
that if in youth they do crime, they shall
certainly be tried before old age comes on.
For this return to duty-doing let Judge
Murphy have due need of praise. He has
set an example that will make his Court
famous, and has inaugurated a system that
ought to strike terror to the hearts of evil
doors, for it means the cutting from be-
meath their feet of the chief hope of es-
cape, and which has heretofore, in ma
jority Of cases, been realized.

Erain Weights.

The average weight of the brain in men
is AZ ounces and in women some four or
five ounces less, the human organ being
absolutely heavier than that of any of the
lower animals except the elephant and the
whale, with brains of ten and five pounds
respectively. As a rule, mental capacity
and the size of the brain quite closely cor
respond, and it has been observed that a
brain weight of less than 80 ounces in an
adult person is always accompanied by a
defective intellect. The rule has its excep-
tons, however q notable one being that of
Gambetta, the small weight of whose
BRAIN being less than A ounces, is attract
ing the attention of French anthropolo-
gists. A contrasting case has recently
been furnished in an idiot with a brain of
So ounces. Familiar great brains are those
of Cuvier and Webster, each exceeding GA
ounces of DR.. Abercrombie, GO ounces
and of Duypreten. 63l ounces. Descartes,
Raphael and Voltaire had small heads,
while that OF Napoleon was only slightly
above the average, and that of Schiller not
at all. The lightest brain on record
weighed eight ounces, and belonged to an
idiot boy, and that of an idiot woman
weighed ten ounces. The average brain of
Englishmen is 40 ounces; that of French
men a little over 40 ounces; that of Dutch,
Italians, Swedes and Lapps comes nearer
the English, while the German brain is
heavier. In India the weight is from IL to
Al ounces; in Africa 43, and in America 46.

Airing Rooms.

1t is a great mistake that the whole
house, particularly sleeping rooms and the
dining rooms, receives little ventilating and
purifying the air when it can be done with
so little trouble and no expense A
pitcher of cold water placed on a table or
bureau will absorb all the gases with which
the room is filled from the respiration of
those eating or sleeping in the apartment
Very few realize how important such puri-
tication is for the health of the family, or,
indeed, understand or realize that there
can be any impurity in the rooms, yet in &
few hours pitcher or pail of cold water
the colder the more effective-will make
the air in the room pure, but the water will
be entirely unfit for use.
In bedrooms pail or pitcher of water
should be always kept, and changed often
if any one stays in the room during the day,
certainly be put in fresh when the in
mates retire. Such water should never be
drunk, but either a covered pitcher or glass
bottle with stopper should be used for
drinking water, and always be kept closely
covered. Impure water causes more sick
ness than even impure air, and for that rea-
son. before using water from pump or
reservoir for drinking or cooking, one
should pump or draw out enough to clear
the pipes before using it, particularly in
the morning. after the water has been
standing in the pipes all night Pa1aclei-

Mountains.

SANTA Rosa, February 22d.-There is
still much excitement here over the report
that the murderer Pete" is passing
through this county, on his way to the
coast. The two searching parties returned
here last evening, without finding any trace
of the fugitive There seems to be no
doubt that the horse stolen from near Cal
istoga on Sunday night was taken by the
murderer, The horse was found at w.
Hooper's ranch, in Knights valley, yester-
day, and had been ridden very bard. The
Swede is beyond doubt trying to reach the
coast The officers hope that hunger will
compel him to be more bold, and that
while he is trying to secure food they can
capture him. A Deputy Sheriff from Napa
was here to-day, and after giving some in
formation started north. Sheriff Colgan is
in Cloverdale, and will remain there a few
days. or until the man is captured. The
woods are being thoroughly searched, and
every outlet guarded. 1t will be almost
impossible for him to escape.
w. ]. Hefelfinger, sewing machine
agent of this city, called at the Sheriff's
office to-day and stated that he was well
acquainted with the murderer, and SAYS his
name is Peter Olsten. He worked in a
logging camp at Big River Mills, Mendo-
cino county, about five years ago, and the
year before he worked at Noyo. Mendocino
county, for Plummer & White. His
brother lives at Noyo, and keeps saloon
in the woods, not far from town. Pete is a
frst-class sailor. He is heavy drinker,
and has very disagreeable disposition.
Under Sheriff Naughton telesraphed this
information to the officers at Noyo. and TO
all other points. Deputy Sheriff Breiten-
back started for Hopland this evening, and,
with a posse, will guard Russian river.
The officers are sure that the murderer will
be captured before tomorrow night.

A Mysterious Case, Stated in Rather Mys-

VANCOUVER, February 22d.-Considerable
excitement prevails here owing to the spe-
cial dispatch to the st. Louis Globe Demo
crat of recent date, relative to the Malloy-
Lee-Graham tragedy at Springfield, Mo-,
setting forth that Mrs. Sarah Graham, the
supposed murdered woman, is alive and
living in Vancouver w. T., and not wy
oming and from the fact that Mrs. Emma
Malloy, while REVEALING in this city dur
ing January and February, induced one
Mrs. Mckee, who has been residing in this
city for ten years, by threats of arrests and
otherwise, to so to a photographers and
sit for tintype of herself, making unusual
alterations in her personal appearance and
mode of dressing her hair, done at the
suggestion of Mrs. e. Molloy. This
picture of Mrs. Mckee was taken
for the purpose of representing the lost
Sarah Graham in the pending trial of Mrs.
Molloy and Cora Lee Graham, at Spring
field, Mo. The picture which Mrs. Molloy
took away from here in her possession, to
produce on said trial, and whom she calls
the mysterious Mrs. Bankers, is in truth
and fact the tintype of Mrs. Mckee of this
city, taken under the above circumstances.
The mysterious conduct, in procuring this
picture. on the part of Mrs. Moloy, has
aroused grave doubt in the minds of many
people in this vicinity, who were deter
mined to believe her innocent of the crime
she stands charged with as accessory after
the fact-of the murder of Sarah Graham.

STAMP AND LABEL BILLS.

The REcoRD-UNIoN has extensively
shown the errors and folly-of the stamp
and label bills before the Legislature,
and pointed out the great injury that must
result from the enforcement of laws of that
character The Manufacturers Associa-
ton, which must be assumed to understand
the matter thoroughly, has entered its pro-
test against these bills. which constitute
serious menace TO manufacturing inter-
ests in the State. All these measures
are aimed at the Chinese. They are part
and parcel of the vicious legislation which
has so long been aimed at that class of la
borers, uniformly failed to achieve the
desired result, and which, quite as much as
any other cause, has contributed to retard
legitimate and direct efforts TO prevent
this State being overrun with non-assim-
liable class, and peopled by race antago-
nistie in tradition, habit, thought and all
else, to our civilization. No journal has
labored more assiduously than the REC
oRD-UNIoN to secure direct, emphatic and
effective legislation for the exclusion of the
Chinese. 1t has from the outset realized
the danger of that element to the workers
and employers alike in America. 1t has
industriously pointed out the impossibility
of admitting the Chinese laborer to our in
dustrial walks without bringing American
labor down to his low level-one that is
incompatible with the existence of home
building and citizen-rearing workers. But
all such indirect methods of persecution as
are typifed by these stamp and labor
bills" We have uniformly opposed and
looked upon as not only beneath the dig
nifty Of the State, but absolutely injurious
to the anti-Chinese cause. They pre-

The reform in undergarments is well es-
tablished, as any paper fashion catalogue
